We talk about fear a lot on our podcast. Fear is natural and, TBH, necessary. But fear can also make you focus on the wrong thing when it comes to your net worth. Paying down debt rather than building up your assets, to be specific. And that’s what we discuss in this week’s episode: where our fear of the “debt boogeyman” comes from, our three-step strategy on how to overcome it, and what part of your finances you should be focusing on instead.

The robots have taken over. Just kidding. But, they have taken over a major chunk of the financial industry in the form of robo-advisors.

We know you’re probably a big fan of saving because it’s “safe,” right? Well, we’re about to rock your world.
